I think a lotta people feel bad about their coping mechanism being criticized, but too much of Anything is bad in the extreme. and yeah for both the reasons you've mentioned and hearing damage as well. im genuinely worried about our generation's inevitable hearing loss by people using it to stim or soothe at high volume All The Time (said by someone who's hurt themself stimming to music before)
yeah i think i ruffled some feathers. and you’re totally right that people listen to music too loud. i’ve started consciously lowering my own volume to slowly adjust to listening more quietly
